I was wondering the same thing as kerri_woo. How the heck do you get a TTCAL buddy? I really like the idea of it, not to mention the really cool badge you get to make and put in your siggy.
For those of you interested in a TTCAL buddy, I'm all for it! Here's a little bit about what may be important:
I'm 28, DH is 32. We've been married for 4 years and together for 10. We've been TTC since 2007 and lost our first LO in my 10th week in August to a natural unexplained m/c. I'm borderline diabetic/possible PCOS and just started on Metformin. In case you're looking for someone testing around the same time as you each month, I have 32 day cycles (roughly, usually) and will be testing tomorrow, 3 days before expected AF. This is our first cycle of TTCAL and I don't chart. Yet.
If you want a buddy and have any of the previously mentioned similarities, PM me. We can be buddies. I hope you know how to make a cool graphic for our siggies because I sure don't. Haha.
TIA
Re: Wanted:TTCAL Buddy (In response to kerri_woo's ?)
I need a buddy!!
As far as making a badge....ummm yeah I'm no help there.
Sorry I got excited but maybe I should have posted a little more 411
I'm 28, DH is 33. We've been married for 18 months. I had a complete and natural m/c in early August when I was just shy of 10 weeks. No known cause and were told we could start trying again right away.
Cycles were on the shorter side prior to my m/c but after they have been 30+ days. Given my body being out of whack we might test around the same time. I'm on CD 3 right now.
Me 3! I'm 31 and DH is 30 - we recently celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary, but have been together for 13 years. We have been TTC#1 since August 2009. Got our first BFP in July 2010, and had a missed m/c and following DE&C at nearly 11 weeks.
I always had 28 day cycles with a 10-11 day LP before the m/c, but now it seems my cycles are more like 31-ish days with a 14 day LP. I am currently on CD1 - my last cycle was our first back TTC and obviously it didn't quite work out.
Yay! I sent you a PM.
LaLa! I was just looking you up to send you a PM to ask you! How freaky. Yay! Are you any good at doing the badge thingy? I could probably make one, but I'd need serious help getting it to everyone and figuring out how to post it...
Great! I'm sorry you're not TTC at the moment, but it does take time to be in "that place" again. I hope DH comes around for you. On a lighter note, you could always get him liquored up and take advantage of him. Haha. I kid, I kid. Welcome to TTCAL Buddy-hood.
Look on the left-hand side of the TTCAL homepage and scroll down - under "my boards" you should see a clicky link that says check private messages.
I think it is fate!
Ok. camdenfaithful, Mrs Julya, HappyLaLa09somethingsomething and jesslw are TTCAL buddies. I'm adding you lovelies to my siggy in words and we'll all try to find a super awesome pic to make into a badge over the weekend. Sorry, I forgot to mention there will be homework.
First, just FYI, I'm not really on the boards much over the weekends or in the evenings, so if you're paging me or sending me PMs, I likely won't get them until Monday (I mostly bump from work
). I just don't want you to think I'm ignoring you!
Second, I'm not really picky when it comes to what image we use. As long as it's something cute!
I am also into reading, music, and baking/cooking. I also sing, have 2 dogs, and love to travel. I tend to lean more towards kind of classic sepia or b&w photos, but really, anything will do!
